Two Roots Dark Cookies Milk Stout

I was SO EXCITED to try this and so confident that I’d love it that I ordered three 6-packs right off the rip. Two Roots is my favorite N/A brand and I am desperately hoping they open a N/A tasting room in Michigan, where they do some production. One of my favorite regular beers is Rochester Mills Milkshake Stout, which is coincidentally (or not) the … Continue reading Two Roots Dark Cookies Milk Stout

Get a Free Drink Coaching Session from Lyre’s

Lyre’s is one of my hands-down favorite non-alcoholic spirit brands. I am a repeat buyer of their Italian Spritz and their pre-mixed cans, and recently purchased their Sazerac set, comprised of non-alcoholic Absinthe and Rye. After making that purchase, I got an email offering a free, 15-minute drink coaching session with one of their mixologists. I set the call up for 4pm on a Sunday, … Continue reading Get a Free Drink Coaching Session from Lyre’s

The 15K- Easy Tropical Refresher

This creation is a byproduct of “what’s laying around”. I was trying to fit in some last-minute hydration after drinking water all day in preparation for the Drumstick Double, a 10K followed by the 5K Turkey Trot through Detroit before the Thanksgiving parade. It’s pretty simple, not overpowering, and extremely refreshing! 5oz Knudson Pineapple Juice 5oz Fever Tree Ginger Beer 5oz Vita Coco Pressed Coconut … Continue reading The 15K- Easy Tropical Refresher

Acid League- Bee Complex

I have been VERY excited to try Acid League’s Bee Complex. Acid League leans into the fact that non-alcoholic beverages can be uniquely distinct from alcoholic beverages. Rather than claiming to be N/A wines, they create unique flavors geared towards wine drinkers that are completely their own, which are comprised of artfully layered juices, teas, and vinegars. I love Mead, so I thought Bee Complex … Continue reading Acid League- Bee Complex

For Bitter For Worse- Smoky No. 56

It’s the 2nd drink up from my For Bitter For Worse Holiday Trio sampler. Had I purchased any full size bottle of this based on description alone, this would have been the one. I love smoky, sweet cocktails, especially in the Fall and Winter, but this one fell short for me. The nose is liquid smoke, which carries through to first sip. Other than that, … Continue reading For Bitter For Worse- Smoky No. 56

Party Time- Making Your Mocktail “Extra”

Do you ever just want an cocktail with a little extra pizzazz? There are garnishes, and then there are “wow” factor add-ons that both kids and adults will love. Edible Glitter Edible Glitter comes in all kinds of different colors, but I find that a silver color is most versatile for any drink. Speaking of any drink, I mean any, so want to drink a … Continue reading Party Time- Making Your Mocktail “Extra”

For Bitter For Worse- The Saskatoon

My husband’s out to dinner with friends, the kid is at a friends, and I am working “late” catching up on some things and drinking. What’s in my glass? The Saskatoon by For Bitter For Worse, which I’ve been wanting to try for a very long time! The Saskatoon is a non-alcoholic cocktail with flavors of Tart Berry, Black Pepper and Tannic Douglas Fir Finish, … Continue reading For Bitter For Worse- The Saskatoon

Aplos- CBD Liquor Alternative

Aplos is a hemp-based liquor alternative that had me intrigued to try it. I like the idea of some calming side-effects without the booze, and the flavor description of citrus-led with notes of ginger and rosemary sounded delicious. It has 20mg of broad-spectrum CBD per 2oz. serving. Based on the taste, 2 ounces in one drink would be a lot for me, so I’d generally … Continue reading Aplos- CBD Liquor Alternative
